Summary:
Credibility determinations are the centre of the role of a BOR. It is the BOR that has witnesses before it and has the opportunity to observe the demeanour of the witnesses. In the absence of evidence that the Board ignored evidence that was before it or took into account irrelevant considerations in arriving at a credibility determination, it is not open to an Umpire, on appeal from a decision of the BOR, to interfere with a credibility determination.
